By entering illegally, which means the potential immigrants broke American immigration laws, illegal aliens are entering by force, and are violating the laws to do so. In fact, illegal entry into this nation, especially by specific groups, falls clearly within the realm of invasion.

While Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 establishes immigration to be a federal authority, the States may assist the federal government in enforcing immigration laws. Article IV, Section 4 requires the federal government to protect the states against invasion, and because the federal government has abdicated that role, the State of Arizona has taken action to protect itself at the state level.

The U.S. Constitution requires the federal government to protect the states from invasion in Article IV, Section 4, and the U.S. Code, Sections 1324 and 1325 considers it a felony to conceal, harbor, or shelter illegal aliens. The Immigration and Naturalization Act, sections 274 and 275 consider illegal entry into the United States without inspection to be a misdemeanor, and repeated illegal entry is a felony. The Immigration and Nationality Act, section 287(g), which was added in 1996, grants local and state jurisdictions the ability to enforce immigration law with proper training and supervision by federal authorities. In 2003, Alabama became the second state in the nation to participate in the program by signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Department of Homeland Security. Florida was the first state to participate, in 2002, and later Arizona's Sheriff Joe Arpaio sent his deputies for training.

By allowing law breakers into the country without inspection or the immigration process intact, the federal government is actually placing the States in jeopardy, and is not living up to its commitment. In short, the States are being exposed to invasion.

Illegal immigration can easily be categorized as being an invasion. To stop the invasion, the federal government must seal the border. Therefore, the federal government is acting unconstitutionally when it does not protect the border from invasion by illegal aliens.

The illegal alien invasion continues as Americans work to enforce the immigration laws through their States and cities, since the federal government refuses to enforce their own laws in the first place. In Arizona, where SB 1070 is designed to do just that, the smuggling of people into this country has also included a tactic that employs hidden bunkers complete with power and water.
Of course, Krugman is partly correct. We are being invaded by aliens. Illegal aliens.
Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution requires the federal government to protect the States against invasion.
How about you begin there, Krugman? How about we put the border patrol to work, and fence builders to work, in an effort to stop the alien invasion from the south?

All other immigration issues belong to the States. Immigration is a concurrent jurisdiction, for the most part, much like a principal and teacher can both issue detentions, but for different reasons or under different scenarios.

The current democrat president's way around this issue has also been to refuse to enforce immigration laws that are on the books - and action that is once again unconstitutional.

In Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution, the Constitution mandates that the federal government "shall" protect the States against invasion. The word "invasion" is defined as being "to enter by force" and "an intrusion or encroachment." (American Heritage College Dictionary) Illegal entry into the United States is entry by force because the entrants are violating the law to do so. Their unlawful entry is also an intrusion, or encroachment, beyond the borders of this country.
In protecting the States from invasion, as stated in the Constitution, that would mean that the federal government has the duty to protect the borders, securing them against illegal crossings, ensuring that only people who have properly navigated the immigration process to enter this nation are able to cross the nation's borders.

But why would the Obama administration orchestrate such an assault on America's borders, and population in violation of Article IV of the United States Constitution where it tasks the federal government with protecting the States from invasion?

An invasion is defined by the American Heritage College Dictionary, in its third definition presented, as "An intrusion or encroachment." The American College Encyclopedic Dictionary's second, third, and fourth definitions define invasion as being: "The entrance or advent of anything troublesome or harmful, as disease; entrance as if to take possession or overrun; infringement by intrusion." Based on those definitions, I think it is safe to call illegal immigration an "invasion."

Article IV., Section 4 of the United States Constitution tasks the federal government with securing the border by enumerating that the "United States shall. . . protect each of them [States] against Invasion." The obvious takeaway from that is that it is the federal government's duty to secure the national border in order to protect the States from invasion. Very straight-forward. Most advanced nations in the world have stricter immigration laws, and border security, than we do. The southern border of Mexico is strictly enforced, strictly patrolled, and the penalty for being caught illegally entering into Mexico using that southern border is quite severe.
We must be reminded, regarding both enforcing immigration laws, and securing the border, in Article II, the President is also tasked with ensuring that "he take care that the Laws be faithfully executed." Therefore, refusing to execute the immigration laws that are on the books, as they are written, is an unconstitutional (illegal) action by the President of the United States. In the days of the framers, that kind of maladministration would be an impeachable offense.

Once the illegal immigrant has entered the State, however, enforcement also may fall upon the State's law enforcement agencies, for the States have a right to protect their interior.

On June 11, 2015, I posted the following excerpt from my book, The Basic Constitution:
The second part of Article IV, Section 4 provides that the United States “shall protect each of them [the States] against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.”
The Federal Government, according to the final clause of Article IV, must protect each State from invasion, which, in line with the Necessary and Proper clause of Article I, Section 8, is a firm directive to the federal government to keep the national borders secure so as to protect the States from foreign invasion. If executive agencies fail to take the actions necessary to secure the border in order to protect the States from invasion, the militia can be called into service by either the Congress, or the governor of the State being invaded, in order to repel the invasion.
